Unknown coin

[Geordie582]

Strange!

I posted a topic about this coin yesterday - and it has disappeared!

I am still looking for opinions on the identity of this little 'coin'. 17x16 mm 1.3 gms.

I've started another dicussion over on Coin People with no results.

For the record, I've sent a picture to the British Museum with no response, also to the Coin New's 'Coin Clinic', but they haven't got around to it yet. So here's what I'm claiming.

This is a commemorative issue Mark of King Arthur (465-505) to celebrate the victory at the seige of Mount Badon (c.496). There is no name on the coin because the portrait was deemed to be instantly recognisable

That is until someone disproves it

(Nice to have the only example known! )

Some of thier response was that no one will going to made a coin like that, but seen some article that an octagon coin is a coin for the dead.I think it is one article in coinlink cant find it now

It looks as though I've 'double posted' this item in error!

Perhaps a kind Admin will delete this one?

If my memory keeps going like this, perhaps you'll have to!
